More dismal poll numbers for Obama and the GOP on debt crisis
More dismal poll numbers for Obama and the GOP on debt crisis

More than a third of Americans now believe President Obama's policies have made the nation's struggling economy worse--but they blame Republicans just as much for the sorry state of the economy, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll.

The survey finds that 37 percent of Americans believe Obama's policies are hurting the economy, while 39 percent blame Republicans in Congress.

But in a sign of how politically dangerous the ongoing debate could be for both sides, the poll finds that Obama and congressional Republicans facing serious doubt within their political bases.

Just 30 percent of Republicans believe GOP lawmakers are making the economy better. At the same time, Obama has suffered major erosion in support among blacks and liberal Democrats for his economic policies.

3. 77 percent of Americans say the congressional GOP is "not willing enough" to compromise with Obama..
"...Meanwhile, voters appear to be blaming both sides for the debt stalemate--though they blame the GOP substantially more. According to the poll, 77 percent of Americans say the congressional GOP is "not willing enough" to compromise with Obama on the debt. By comparison, 58 percent say Obama hasn't compromised enough..."

If Obama can paint them as willing to destroy the US then he wins hands down...

Who did they poll, Boehner's base?

5. This Corporate-Congress needs to be completely overturned ....
Just 30 percent of Republicans believe GOP lawmakers are making the economy better. At the same time, Obama has suffered major erosion in support among blacks and liberal Democrats for his economic policies.

What's being said here is that Obama has lost ALL his support because Dem Party certainly

doesn't have anything but a liberal and minority base -- women --

Do we really imagine that the RW is keeping the Democratic Party going -- ?

Or Corporate-Conservatives -- ?


Doubt that Obama cares -- his support is coming from corporate power -- not the voters --
